benefits

A geothermal system is the cleanest, most efficient and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool a home as it is simply transferring heat to and from the earth. Not only will you dramatically reduce your carbon footprint, you’ll enjoy substantial energy savings, which means lower utility bills. Geothermal heating and cooling is an investment in your long-term comfort.

sustainability

Our systems do not burn fossil fuels to make heat and have less impact on the environment. By installing a geothermal system, the average homeowner can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 7 tonnes per year.

energy savings

You can save up to 70% on running costs using a highly efficient ground source heat pump. Combined with a correctly sized solar system, homeowners can work towards becoming an energy neutral (net zero) home or going ‘off-grid’.

quiet operation

Heat pumps are usually installed inside the home or a garage and will produce some noise, but it is minimal. The units are well insulated and operate at lower speeds so the decibel output stays low.

low maintenance

The ground or water loop lasts for 50+ years and requires little maintenance. Ground source heat pumps are installed indoors and have a life expectancy of 25+ years. They have fewer mechanical components and are easier to service.

safe and reliable

There is no flame, no flue and no odours emitted by our heat pumps which means lower carbon emissions. High efficiency air cleaners remove dust and pollens to improve indoor air quality.
